"What’s the matter? You look like you know the bride."If it were not for the fact that Jade had not been to the Duvals’ residence too many times in the past, Hesper and Rickard would have been sure that he was playing dumb, because the young bride on the stage was none other than Sophia Duval.They never expected to see Sophia here. After all, giving her money before driving her out of the family was already the ultimate act of kindness they could show her back then. At that time, Sophia’s plan was indeed to leave the country. However, probably no one could have anticipated that they would reunite under such circumstances.Sophia looked a little timid, and it appeared that she did not marry Fenix willingly. After all, the age difference between her and Fenix was almost like that of a father and daughter.But what was certain to Hesper was that she was surely not White Coat.The rest of the ceremony was very usual. Hesper and Rickard were the only ones with complex expressions, an

"You always ignore what I have to say!" As soon as Karen opened her eyes, another wave of violent coughs came. Chelsea looked a little frightened when patting Karen on the back, telling her to calm down and that she did not care about all this.Listening to Chelsea’s voice, Hesper sank into deep thoughts.‘No one can blame me for suspecting her now, can’t they? Her voice resembles that of that young lady too.’Hesper had encountered White Coat several times before this, and although she was unsure that the person in front of her was the same individual, she had a strong hunch that Chelsea was most likely White Coat.But what puzzled Hesper the most was that Chelsea could stay calm and composed. Just a moment ago, Karen was on the brink of kicking the bucket, and Chelsea was good at medicine, yet she called for assistance instead of doing it herself.It was a decision made in a moment of weakness, and perhaps Karen could have truly died.Seeing that Karen had woken up, the people

With every word from Hesper’s mouth, Sophia’s complexion became paler. These things aligned with what they had done to Hesper back then, forming an answer that was gradually becoming clearer.‘She’ll never save me.’Rickard tightened his grasp over Hesper’s hand, and Hesper’s body trembled slightly. It was not until she felt the grip that she recovered from the trance. She then took a deep breath to compose her emotions.Compared to the present, those were already the distant past. Hesper no longer held any grudges against Rickard, so it was only natural for her resentment towards Sophia and Julie to be far less intense now.These people were no longer walking on the same path as her. Therefore, there was no need to carry the burden throughout her lifetime."Alright." Although Jade did not know what Hesper meant, he could tell that Sophia was completely different from Sherese, and Hesper and Rickard would not take her seriously at all.He then exclaimed, "Fenix, hurry up and help

Hesper was stunned for a second upon hearing Rickard’s words, then chuckled. "I’m sitting in the back of the car just fine, so why would you want to save me? It’s not like I’m in any danger."However, Rickard’s eyes looked deep. He stretched out his hand and rubbed the top of Hesper’s head. "I’m not talking about the current you."Hesper was surprised and seemingly understood what Rickard meant."When I heard what you said just now, I was momentarily dazed, and I couldn’t even believe that we used to treat you like that." Rickard lowered his gaze and then pressed his forehead against Hesper’s shoulder. "If I could go back in time, I’d love to return to that period."Hesper did not utter a single word, and Rickard continued, "I want to tell the doctor without any hesitation that I want to save you when he asked me whether I want to save the mother or the baby. I wouldn’t let Sophia and Julie bully you. I would protect you and the child, and I would trust you."I would also tell you

‘At the end of the day, a favor from the Turners does hold a certain level of weight. If something unexpected arose and I’m not by her side, at least she can keep it for such emergencies. That way, she won’t be forced into a corner when the time comes.’With a sly smirk, Rickard realized Hesper was only provoking him, but he liked this feeling. Anyways, Hesper’s safety and well-being were indeed his top priorities.Hesper knew this, too. That was why she dared to do so to force him into helping Sherese."I’m already considering giving Father a chance, so you, Mr. Duval, can fall too far behind," Hesper said with a wink as if all the sadness and tears from earlier had disappeared completely. "I'm not holding onto the past anymore. Those memories will always be overshadowed as long as you’re by my side."Hesper understood too well that love and hate were not transient, but they were not eternal either. Since the day she decided to forgive Rickard, she had been mentally preparing hers
A Spoonful of Sugar: Don’t Beg for Love Chapter 1361
Rickard felt somewhat helpless. He could not comprehend how he was being blamed again."You need to be honest to her. After all, Sherese is your sister. Next time, I won't mediate between you two. You should weigh the consequences yourself." Hesper sighed deeply. She looked at the documents in her hand and asked, "What exactly did Sophia do during her time in Halwanest?"If she could not find out what had happened during that time, she might still feel uneasy, especially since their original target was Renfrew."Frankie will continue the investigation. Don't worry," Rickard said, and Hesper nodded in response.As for Sherese, she did not run off by herself again this time. At least she brought someone along with her. Although Hesper did not know what she was up to, she was not too worried about her safety and decided to let her do whatever she pleased.The next day, Hesper had an appointment with Yale. She felt like Rickard was not happy with her seeing Yale, but he refused to say

Although Hesper was eager to know what the two had discussed in detail, they intentionally lowered their voices, and she could not catch everything they said. However, she felt Christopher was still quite polite, consistent with her impression of him.Since Christopher did not do anything overboard and she did not want to interrupt Sherese's plan, Hesper decided to leave.After Hesper left, Christopher looked at Sherese and said, "Actually, when I saw you before, I felt a strange sense of familiarity. I seem to have some impression of your mother, but that was many years ago."Hearing that Christopher had indeed met her mother, Sherese's eyes brightened. However, she did not rush to ask further and waited for Christopher to explain on his own. "I'm sorry," Christopher said, "While I do want to help you, that was many years ago, and my memory of it is somewhat blurry now. However, there might be some records at home. I'll go back and check. Hopefully, we'll find something."Sheres

"Madam, someone outside wants to see you," Frankie said as he entered the room. Hesper furrowed her brows slightly. She did not expect someone to want to see her at this moment. However, since they had already found her here, she saw no harm in meeting with them."Alright, I'll go downstairs."When she reached the ground floor and saw the person Frankie had brought in, Hesper raised an eyebrow. The person was none other than Sophia. Even though their conversation from yesterday had clarified things, Sophia still refused to give up and insisted on meeting for a resolution. Tears welled up in her eyes upon seeing Hesper."Hesper! I've come to realize my mistakes about what happened in the past. I'm here in Montequinto because someone has coerced me."Hesper remained unfazed, but considering the unusual information she had come across, she decided to sit down. Sophia understood that Hesper was willing to listen to her and began to explain, "After we took the money that day, my mothe

He had never anticipated that he would end up loving her so deeply.It could be said that amidst all the misunderstandings and complexities, their journey together had taken many winding paths."I wouldn't risk getting into trouble just to set off fireworks for someone I didn't even like," Rickard said, his voice gentle. "You dummy."His words were soft, but as Hesper listened to his explanation, she cleared her throat, and her eyes turned bloodshot. She had never imagined that the person she had loved so intensely in her youth had, at some point in their lives, secretly admired her.Hesper attempted to smile but ended up with teary eyes. Seeing this, Rickard reached out and affectionately ruffled her hair. "If it's going to make you cry, I won't say anything more."Hesper pursed her lips. "If you don't want to talk about it, then don't."Rickard, despite understanding her reluctance, couldn't help but reflect on the past and openly admitted to the emotions he had felt in his you

They were flooded with memories, and Hesper couldn't help but admit that she had been through so much with Rickard. Her eyes welled up with emotion.The livestream ended, as they couldn't maintain constant surveillance of their lives. Even though they hadn't gone home yet, the crew had left.In the past two days, people had gotten to know them quite well, so the crew decided to give them some alone time.Hesper sat in the passenger seat and stole a glance at Rickard. She couldn't help but say, "I never expected that the only time you were seen as making a mistake in Grandpa's eyes was because of me.""There are many things you don't know," he replied. Hesper raised an eyebrow and asked, "Like what? Tell me."Suddenly, Hesper recalled the countless times Rickard had looked at her. Yet, during those moments, Rickard had always had feelings for Juniper. She knew that was the reality, so she never expected that Rickard might have had the same strong feelings for her as she had for h
A Spoonful of Sugar: Don’t Beg for Love Chapter 1859
Hesper glanced at Rickard, who remained emotionless, but she still reached out to hold his hand.[This is tough to see. Both of Rickard's parents are no longer here… Sigh.][Hesper immediately checked on Rickard. If I were Rickard, I'd love her so much.]Ernest shook his head and remained silent as he flipped to the next page. Most of the pictures were of Hesper after that. She hadn't realized she had so many childhood photos. Julian appeared in some of them, too.Before everything went sour.Rickard didn't have many pictures. As he grew older, he became quieter.Most of them showed Hesper standing next to Julian, but there was something off about them.[Did you notice... In many of those pictures, Hesper was looking at Rickard, and in others, Rickard was looking at her.][Oh my god, is this puppy love? I had no idea!][I remember Rickard had another lover.]Hesper had noticed, too, but there was no need to remind people that Rickard used to hate her, so she dismissed it as a

Hesper and Rickard entered the room and awkwardly informed Ernest that everything had been live-streamed just now. Ernest was shocked, but upon hearing that it was something people do, he nodded."It's fine. There's nothing that others can't hear."Hesper pursed her lips and glanced at Rickard before saying, "We didn't expect the Summers to come and see you. You should move in with us so these people will leave you alone."If Ernest lived with them, no one would dare intrude because they represented power and influence.Who would dare challenge them?"I don't want to get involved in your life. Renfew and Renarie would keep you occupied enough."Hesper understood that he had already made up his mind not to live with them, so she didn't press the matter further.She could understand his concerns, as many things might become inconvenient. Besides, Ernest didn't want to disrupt their lives either."We'll be heading to Fredonia soon, so even though we have filming to do, we wanted t

So what if the cameras were still recording?"Was my son's life not as valuable as your son's?"If he had grasped this earlier, recent events might not have unfolded. Jade had a point.The live chat fell silent. Though they lacked the full backstory, they could deduce what had transpired in the past.[I heard Rickard lost his parents when he was a child. I feel sorry for him.][His parents died because of that incident. It's no surprise if he harbors resentment.][Truthfully, this old man has no shame. If my child were responsible for another child's death, I'd beg for forgiveness.]Everything unfolding before their eyes was purely coincidental, and no one had control over the situation. They could only watch and terminate the livestream immediately if anything escalated.Fortunately, Jade received a stern talking-to and refrained from discussing the matter further, but Mrs. Summers did not fare as well. Hesper and the others bore witness to her irrational behavior.[This is e

"We've known each other for years, Ernest. I saved your life once, and now your descendants want to take my son's life!"As they approached, Jade Summers was angrily berating Ernest before him. Hesper's countenance immediately turned frosty as she walked over to Ernest."You should conduct yourself more appropriately, Mr. Summers Sr."Jade was taken aback to see Hesper, but he composed himself, took a deep breath, and fixed her with a hatred-filled gaze."If it weren't for you, none of this would have happened. You're just a woman. Since when do you get a say in the Duval family matters?"In the 21st century, people were all for equality. Besides, Hesper was no ordinary or unintelligent woman. Naturally, she had a voice in these matters.The viewers were inundated with comments when they heard Jade's words, and the live chat exploded.[Who is this guy? He looks old but lacks respect.][What's the argument about?][I sense some drama.]Rickard walked over. Jade had thought he

[Didn't Hesper mention that Mr. Duval Sr. took care of her? Maybe she did grow up well.][I'm certain she did. Hesper doesn't strike me as someone who would tolerate mistreatment.]Hesper and Rickard were under constant surveillance throughout the journey, and they hadn't allowed Benji to accompany them. Rickard was behind the wheel, with Hesper in the passenger seat.During the drive, they remained silent, but to observers, it appeared as though they were in harmony.Upon arriving at the ancestral mansion, Hesper noticed other cars parked around and cast a curious glance at Rickard. Visitors to Ernest's home were a rarity."Sir, Ma'am, you're back," a young housekeeper greeted them. It was the same person who had assisted Wendy earlier, but they couldn't recall her name. Nevertheless, Hesper had faith in her.Noticing the housekeeper's troubled demeanor, Hesper deduced that the guest inside was likely unwelcome. However, she couldn't fathom who would disrupt Ernest's life. Given

Rickard noticed something in Hesper's expression, prompting him to ask, "Is there something else you haven't told me?"Being intimately familiar with each other wasn't always without its challenges. Hesper could never conceal anything from him.She sighed and replied, "It's nothing. Just that Pennleigh will also be on the list."Rickard fell silent.Hesper was aware that sometimes Rickard might not appear bothered, but Pennleigh's presence did bother him.Observing Hesper's awkward expression, Rickard lowered his gaze and suddenly took on a pitiful appearance, like a big dog caught in the rain.Yet, she knew he was merely putting on an act. Still, every time she saw him like that, she couldn't help but miss the Rickard who didn't engage in such playful antics. His character had undergone a change.Hesper found it amusing but didn't quite know how to express it. She sighed and added, "It's a fantastic opportunity. I know you'll let me go, right?"Rickard had no intention of inte

"Sullivan lied to her. He had her parents quietly killed. She found out after she turned her back on you."Benji lowered his gaze. "She was already dead when you came back. It was suicide."The conclusion lacked the weight necessary for such a betrayal. Hesper shut her eyes. The person she had trusted most was Renee. They had shared countless years together.Hesper acknowledged that their bond might not have been a genuine friendship. Renee had abandoned her when given the choice.However, Hesper had faced such situations before.Thankfully, there had been someone who had placed her first in their heart, reassuring her that she wasn't always relegated to being an option. Hesper stood in silence for a while before simply nodding.There was nothing she could do to aid Renee now. Renee had entered and departed alone, leaving no trace behind with Hesper.When the topic was broached, it weighed heavily on her heart. Hesper understood the situation but found herself at a loss for word
